Scotland's university procurement center confirms cybercrooks broke in

Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) says attackers gained unauthorized access to historical data in a cyberattack earlier this month. The Scottish education procurement body said it immediately contained the mid-July intrusion and was investigating claims that some of the data had been stolen. "We recently discovered suspicious activity on our IT systems involving unauthorized access to certain historic data," an APUC spokesperson told The Register.
